Rosie Alder-Pembrook isn’t planning on letting her ultra-feminist club get shut down due to the senior class council’s budget cutbacks (and to be honest, it’s kind of killing her senior year buzz). But when it seems that the only way to revive it is to strike a deal with the semi-sexist/mostly ignorant Class Council president, Peter Bevan, to help him fix what he broke with ex-girlfriend/real life Barbie doll, Ella Hall, she’s made to wonder if it’s quite worth selling her soul over. And so, alongside her best friend, (who she’s sure wasn’t always this hot) a group of angry teenage feminists, and the outlandishly willing drama department, Rosie embarks on a mission to reclaim her beloved club – at whatever the cost.

"The whole 'I hate myself' is an understatement. I wholeheartedly know that I do, but when you're surrounded by the people who believe in you and see your potential, you ought to feel like they're angels directing you somewhere out of your hellhole." Seventeen year old Cheyanne Grace Leighton has been changing for the better despite her constant struggle of avoiding her obscure tragic past that happened five years ago. There comes a point where she needs a little fun kick in her life, distractions if you will, but meeting this new guy in town has not made it possible. He hates her-like she can't do that on her own already. She wants to steer clear from him, but he likes to enlighten himself. Let's face it: facades don't last very long and without the love, you don't live.
